Dictionary of Problem Words in English

abdomen

This term, from Latin and pronounced

with the accent on the firstor second syllable,

refers to that part of any mammal’s body

that lies betweenthe pelvis and the rib cage.

Some speakers consider it an evasion, a euphemism

(inoffensive word) for belly,

a perfectly proper term descended from Old English.

(Possibly belly will be restored to common use on all levels,

just as legis now generally used instead of limb.)

Abdomen is an anatomical term, as is stomach

(which really applies to one organ within the abdomen,or belly).

Trite or childishexpressions with differing meaning

include potbelly, corporation, stummick,

bay window, paunch, guts, and tummy.

In everyday usage, say belly;

in formal or fastidious

situations, use abdomen.
